About this plugin
The fastest way to insert font based material design icons.
Quick Material Icons is optimized for speed of use. The gist: run the plugin, search for an icon and add it to your file. But the details make this experience feel great.
I highly recommend adding a shortcut to the plugin. (see below for instructions)

Features
- Recent icons show by default.
- Select with your keyboard.
- After searching, results are sorted by recency.
- When a text object is selected, and it has the same name as an icon, the plugin will automatically replace the text for that icon. Eg. a text object using Helvetica has

as characters. Running the plugin will use the Material Icons font and show an icon instead. - Running the plugin without a selection will add an icon in the center of the viewport.
- If multiple text elements are selected, the plugin will run for each element.
- If a frame or group is selected, the icon will be added to the center of the object.
